A man has been taken into custody in relation to the 2016 murder of a Saint John, N.B., woman.
The body of 43-year-old Tammy Boratynec was discovered in the backyard of her Melrose Street apartment in east Saint John on July 17, 2016.
On Friday morning, the man was arrested and will remain in custody pending a court appearance on Monday.
Jim Hennessy, spokesperson for the Saint John Police Force, said more information about the charges will be available following the appearance.
Boratynec, originally from Alberta, is remembered for her love of camping and fishing.
Her family and friends have spent years searching for answers and pleading with the public for information.
In 2018, Boratynec’s daughter, Amanda, told Global News she’s moving forward in life, caring for a daughter and trying not to let her mother’s death consume her.
“Her life might have stopped, so it’s hard to be the only one standing still,” she said at the time.
